Question
Read the passage below and identify which of the
following statements (I, II, and III) can be logically inferred. Select the correct combination from the options provided. Passage: A clay tablet unearthed in a remote coastal village, dating back roughly 3,400 years, contains the oldest known recording of a musical notation system, according to a recent archaeological report. The markings, etched in Ugaritic cuneiform, represent the earliest structured method of capturing melody on a physical medium. These symbols are the ancestor of the modern musical staff used today across much of the Western world. The tablet records a hymn to a goddess, accompanied by instructions for a lyre player that read: "Strike the strings thrice when the high note rings." While previous excavations found isolated symbols on bone whistles, this tablet is the first to display a rhythmic sequence of notes, marking a pivotal moment in the history of human creative expression. Statements: I. No music was performed by humans before the creation of the Ugaritic cuneiform. II. The modern system for writing music has its origins in the Ugaritic cuneiform notation. III. Ancient musicians, like modern ones, used specific instructions to ensure accurate performance.Solution
Statement I does not follow: The passage identifies Ugaritic cuneiform as the "earliest structured method of capturing melody on a physical medium" (writing it down). It does not claim that music was never performed orally or through instruments before this writing system existed. Statement II follows: The passage explicitly states that these symbols are the "ancestor of the modern musical staff used today." This directly supports the inference that the modern system was derived from this ancient one. Statement III follows: The passage translates specific instructions for the lyre player ("Strike the strings thrice...") and compares the discovery to modern creative expression. This implies that the practice of using written instructions to guide a performance is a shared trait between ancient and modern musicians.
